Encompassing massive land and environmental works, extensive sculpture parks, magnificent architectural follies, site-specific installations, even whole towns turned over to the display of art, "Destination Art":Destination Art chronicles a wealth of works that have achieved near-mythical status since they were created. Among the many influential and popular artists included are Henri Matisse, Antoni Gaudf, Constantin Brancusi, James Turrell, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, Antony Gormley and Olafur Eliasson. Full visitor information-including opening hours and admission fees, how to get there,contact details and websites, and further reading-is supplied for each of the destinations in the book.
